No experience with it. I believe it’s a Turkish product.
For $157 how bad could it be? For the price test it and if it runs well and is reliable it would make an economical carry.

A buddy of mine just bought one on a lark. I’m hoping to get to the range with him today and try it out

It is Turkish. So are a lot of guns for larger brands. I really have no need for it but I’m seriously considering it.

[Rugerfan]

Bullsi, I’m interested in what you think about it.

No direct experience, however, considering the obvious:

There are plenty of clueless Prohibited Persons who are able to assemble a functional, or at least mostly functional, Polymer 80 / Gen-3 Glock clone in their basements.

The Turks at Tisas make a REALLY good 1911. I'm sure their industry can successfully bolt a kinda-sorta S&W M&P slide to a kinda-sorta Gen-3 Glock frame. Probably worth buying as a beater, with an "oh well" attitude to the possibility that it may not be long-term serviceable. I would also be curious if it use a common mag. Given that my job is keeping guns running, I tend to place those long-term logistics over entry cost, but such things have their place.

It does not use a common mag. It’s proprietary and is 30-40 bucks each

Not a deal breaker just know it won’t be supported in the future .

I've read about 6 articles about this pistol and nobody had a bad thing to say about it short of the proprietary mags and the fact it only comes with one. I know half of these articles were from gun writers but.... it is basically a Glock 26 with some needed improvements.

This one comes with a 10 rd and 15 rd mags

Just got back from the range, and got a chance to run about3-4 mage through the little Stoeger:

I am really impressed with this little gun, especially with what he paid. He got it from KY Gun Co, and with free shipping and rebate, it was less than a High Point:

It is flat, small, fits my big hands well, points really naturally, and has a pretty good trigger (for the price point). The trigger is kinda mushy at the break, but has a pretty short reset. Not too heavy of a pull, though. Running it fast is pretty easy.

Since we were wearing out the targets with PDW stuff, I did not get any group pics, but it was putting all the shots in the 9 ring or better. But the main thing I liked was its “carry-ability” and ergonomics. It reminded me of the new Walther guns in how thin and grippy it was.

Since I had my Kahr CW-9 with me, I grabbed a couple of side by side shots to show how it stacked up against a single-stack concealed focused kind of gun:

I am probably going to order one of these. For the price-even without the rebate- it seems pretty hard to beat

[Rugerfan]

Thanks, Bullsi. Decisions, decisions.

[bullsi1911]

I mean, empty the change jar. That will get you most of the way there

$119 after rebate here. That’s like a bag of groceries

[Rugerfan]

I was wanting the full-size. Kygun sold out before I could order it

[bullsi1911]

That place has the full-size for the same price

[Rugerfan]

Great. Wonderful
